Little Moments

Both males seemed to be lost in their own thoughts for a moment. Dayton, of course, was trapped in the dark net of his own tragedy, trying terribly hard not to think of his father. He couldn't let himself think of that nightmarish day, for whenever he did the feelings came rushing back. The hot, stinking breath on his face. The sharp pain of teeth in his scruff. The other pain... that he couldn't even begin to think about. His amber eyes pinched shut as he banished the thoughts and focused on the younger boy across from him. Crucifix seemed to struggle with some memories for a brief moment as well, holding in a growl. Dayton kindly averted his eyes and let the male think things over. His eyes rested on the perfect little shell at his feet. Then he spoke softly, "I am glad to hear that you are being reunited with your family. There is nothing better than the bond between parents and siblings." Besides true love, of course, but by some intuition Dayton assumed that this carefree boy would scoff at that. And the reverent way he had spoken of his family showed how much he cared for them. Dayton had loved his mother, of course, and his younger sister. After all, he had sacrificed his innocence for her. Her eventual death still gnawed at his heart. Luckily, the topic was soon changed. Crucifix seemed as grateful as Dayton was for this. He answered the russet boy's question with a sort of mischievous manner. So he had chased the sun to this point, racing its burning rays to the top of this high boulder. The smaller boy let a grin brighten his face. "An interesting way to enjoy the beauty of nature, that's for sure." He laughed a little. "Remind me to try that sometime." As long as the thoughts of his father stayed far away, Dayton would be happy. The two males grinned at each other for a moment as the darker memories faded away. But they would always be there, waiting for them. Walk. "Talk." Think. |
